It addresses the two options for women who want to balance what could be opposing styles. Nevertheless, the photoshoot does show that femininity is just as powerful of masculinity.

They were styled by Elizabeth Cabral, who pulled pieces from the racks of such labels as Gucci, Banana Republic, Prada, Louis Vuitton, and Alexander Wang.
